my riding lawnmower will start with a squirt of starter fluid but stops when the fluid is gone?

If it has a fuel pump. Some do and some don’t. You don’t say what engine it has. Usually if the gas tank is above the carburetor it won’t have a fuel pump. It is either the fuel pump or a dirty carburetor or both.

That would be my first assumption IF it has a fuel pump. Most mowers just use gravity. I would check the line from the fuel tank to the carburetor, but be careful messing around raw gas.
